This version of the map will be best viewed online. It will print small on letter size paper, or will have to be tiled onto at least three pages. Full size is about 30 inches, scaled 1 inch = 2,000 feet vertically, 1 inch = 1000 feet horizontally (horizontal scale is exagerated 2:1 for clarity).

This brochure is two pages and includes general park information. It was designed to be printed on 11x17-inch paper, and may print small on regular letter size paper. Hikers may therefore wish to print out one or more of the hiking maps, below, which will provide better trail detail when printed on letter size paper.

For hikers using mobile devices or home printers, it may be more convenient to download one or more of the maps below, presented from south to north in the park, and which include a second page with simple hike descriptions and tips for hikers. (These five maps overlap and can be used to form a continuous map of the park, though scale had to be varied slightly to allow for each to be printed on a single letter-size sheet of paper.)

EASY hikes can be completed in two hours or less by hikers with little or no hiking experience, including school-age children who are among the group.

MODERATE hikes will take two hours or more to complete, and parts of the route traverse some significant slopes or rugged trails. Younger children may find these hikes too difficult. Older children and adults should be in good shape and relatively confident of their hiking abilities.

CHALLENGING hikes are better suited to hikers who have some real hiking experience. The trails are rugged and have steep slopes. These hikes may take over three hours, and younger children may not be able to complete them. Older children and adults should be in good shape and confident of their hiking abilities.
